Product Description
Polyporusterone A is a triterpene carboxylic acid extracted from Polyporus umbellatus Fries. Polyporusterone A inhibits free radical-induced lysis of red blood cells (hemolysis).
Polyporusterone A (CAS 141360-88-5) is a triterpene carboxylic acid isolated from the substrates and fruiting bodies of Polyporus umbellatus Fries (also known as Zhu Ling). It exhibits hepatoprotective, antioxidant, diuretic, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. Polyporusterone A has an inhibitory effect on free radical-induced lysis of red blood cells (hemolysis) and is used in studies of hair regeneration and psoriasis.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Polyporusterone A targets oxidative stress pathways by inhibiting free radical-induced erythrocyte cleavage (hemolysis). Its hepatoprotective and antioxidant activities are attributed to its ability to modulate oxidative stress and cell signaling pathways. The compound shows potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties through modulation of oxidative stress and cell signaling pathways. As a triterpene carboxylic acid, it may interact with various cellular targets involved in liver protection, inflammation, and cell survival.
ln Vitro
In vitro, Polyporusterone A inhibits free radical-induced lysis of red blood cells (hemolysis), demonstrating potent antioxidant activity. It exhibits hepatoprotective activity in cell-based models, protecting liver cells from oxidative damage. The compound shows potential anticancer and anti-inflammatory properties. Its ability to inhibit hemolysis suggests membrane-stabilizing effects that may contribute to its overall cytoprotective profile. Specific IC50 values are not detailed in the available literature.
ln Vivo
Specific in vivo data for Polyporusterone A are limited. The compound is used in studies of hair regeneration and psoriasis, suggesting potential for in vivo efficacy in these areas. Its hepatoprotective activity suggests potential for in vivo studies in liver injury models. The compound's diuretic activity also indicates potential applications in renal research. However, specific published in vivo protocols for this compound are not detailed in the available literature. Further in vivo studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic potential.
Enzyme Assay
The antioxidant activity of Polyporusterone A is assessed using in vitro assays. For hemolysis inhibition, red blood cells are isolated from blood samples and suspended in buffer. The cells are treated with Polyporusterone A at various concentrations and then exposed to free radical-generating systems (e.g., AAPH or H₂O₂). The degree of hemolysis is measured spectrophotometrically at 540 nm, and the percentage inhibition is calculated compared to control samples without the compound.
Cell Assay
For cellular studies, hepatocyte cell lines (e.g., HepG2) or other relevant cell types are cultured in appropriate media. Cells are treated with Polyporusterone A at various concentrations (e.g., 0.1-100 μM) for 24-72 hours. Cell viability is assessed using MTT or similar assays. Oxidative stress is induced using H₂O₂ or other pro-oxidants, and cell protection is measured. ROS levels are measured using DCFH-DA. The compound is typically dissolved in DMSO and diluted in culture media, with a final DMSO concentration ≤0.1%.
Animal Protocol
In vivo studies for Polyporusterone A would be conducted in appropriate animal models. For hepatoprotection studies, mice or rats would be treated with hepatotoxic agents (e.g., CCl₄, acetaminophen) followed by Polyporusterone A administration via oral gavage or intraperitoneal injection. Liver injury would be assessed by measuring serum ALT and AST levels, liver histopathology, and markers of oxidative stress. For hair regeneration studies, appropriate models would be used. For psoriasis studies, imiquimod-induced or other psoriasis models would be employed.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Specific pharmacokinetic data for Polyporusterone A are not reported. The compound has a molecular weight of 478.66 g/mol. As a triterpene carboxylic acid, it is expected to have moderate lipophilicity. Pharmacokinetic studies would be required to determine parameters such as half-life, Cmax, oral bioavailability, and tissue distribution in animal models. The compound is typically stored as a powder at -20°C and protected from light.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
As a natural product from Polyporus umbellatus, which has traditional medicinal uses, Polyporusterone A is generally considered to have a moderate safety profile. Its antioxidant and hepatoprotective properties suggest potential benefits rather than toxicity. However, comprehensive toxicology studies including acute, subchronic, and genotoxicity assessments have not been reported. The compound should be handled with appropriate safety precautions in laboratory settings.
